本論文旨在詮釋越界詩學如何在湯瑪斯•品瓊的小說《拍賣49號商品》中呈現，並藉由精神分析理論來加強此觀點。在此“越界”的定義衍伸為“跨越”“橫渡”甚至“踰越”以強調在跨越動作的同時，其具有的顛覆意含。第一章簡介小說的當代歷史文化背景，並陳述理論架構及論文結構。 第二章主要訴諸於德勒茲及伽塔利在《反伊底帕斯:資本主義與精神分裂》一書中對於潛意識的分析,藉此來描寫小說中呈現的布景格局，此處特指聖納西索市。聖納西索一方面代表皮爾斯的潛意識心象圖，另一方面影射資本主義當道的社會。相對於資本主義覇權，地下資訊系統崔斯提羅則代表精神分裂的顛覆生命力，一方面作為資本主義的產物，另一方面又威脅著資本主義的存在。第三章則著重在探討女主角伊底帕最終偏執狂的形成，並且修正其對崔斯提羅的誤解，還原它具有的顛覆性質，藉由布希亞對摸擬的觀點來證明崔斯提羅為一超現實現象。

This thesis aims to excavate and accentuate the poetics of transgression manifested in Thomas Pynchon’s The Crying of Lot 49 in the light of psychoanalytical theory. The psychoanalytical reading of this novel is indispensable since it provides an illuminating comprehension of the concept of transgression. The idea of transgression refers emphatically to the act of crossing, traversing, or violating boundaries and, more significantly, to the subversion and undermining power latent in the act of transgression. Chapter one offers a general introduction of the historical and cultural context of the novel, the theoretical framework and thesis structure. Chapter two resorts mainly to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s understanding of the unconscious syntheses in Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia to delineate the textual structure, which refers to San Narciso. The city is simultaneously the projection of Pierce Inverarity’s unconscious topography and the projection of capitalist society. The psychic and social registrations are similarly founded on the model of the unconscious syntheses, or, in Deleuze and Guattari’s words, the desiring-machines, manifesting their assertion that there is no boundary between the psychic and the social and the two are both invested by the desire. The underground network of the Tristero otherwise projects an alternative force in contrast to the capitalist dictatorship of Pierce. The Tristero represents the schizophrenia that is produced yet renounced by capitalism and it also stands for the aggressive force that pushes the capitalist machine to its limits. Chapter three analyzes the relation between Oedipa Maas and the city San Narciso. Oedipa represents a bourgeoisie housewife whose ego centrism is cultivated by the narcissistic enclosure of the capitalist society in San Narciso. The permeating aura of narcissism precipitates her paranoia, depriving her of the alternative sight to see the real Tristero. Oedipa’s paranoiac obsession makes her see the Tristero as a simple conspiracy, ignoring its schizophrenic nature. Opposite to such an arbitrary misconception, this thesis attempt to recover the proper character of the Tristero as a hyperreality in the light of Jean Baudrillard’s notion of simulation.
